PSA looks scuffed. I heard this of almost all the grading companies though. Send them in again and you get different results. Considered sending my Magic cards in to another company, but after seeing this, I definitely wont. Worst part is that there is no reason given for those numbers. Can't be that hard to send a certificate with the exact ratings for each criteria... But what do I know about transparency, right?

Ya sadly, they are able to get away with it because of how popular they are. There are companies that do give full transparency. But I believe it can swing both good and bad so from the seller's perspective its not the end of the world.

Hey Metro...finished watching the 14 parts of your self-game. Hope that shows up on your view time. The top down view of the non-combat part of the game (I don't have any previous experience with any released versions) brought back some fond memories of going over to my neighbor's trailer in high school and watching him play Phantasy Star on the Sega Genesis. Not sure what version it was, perhaps the original (I graduated HS in '92, so it was a while back). Still, this one ansd PS are both fun to watch. I've always enjoyed RPG's whether they were MMPO or not. I had a game from ECA called "Legacy of the Ancients" for my Commodore that was similar in nature, but way my primitive...had the wilderness, towns, and the museum where the Innkeeper woukd give you quests. Was an awesome game for way back then. There was a spinoff called "Legend of Blacksilver" which was much the same. Then came Might & Magic Book I...and the rest is history, Literally spent man-days playing that lol. Keep having fun!!

151 needs a reprint, these prices suck right now for collectors. Also, Japanese is the way to go for collecting in my opinion. The quality control is a lot higher and the detailing is just amazing. It does make the market more cold due to more supply and higher amount of PSA 10's

That's why I was scouting the 9s or even 8s. If you want raw cards it would be super cheap too. I'd like the reprint myself just so the packs are cheaper and not being scalped.

If you're going to continue buying graded cards for investment then you're definitely better sticking with the big 3 grading companies, PSA, Beckett and CGC. There was a massive influx of new grading companies that popped up after 2020 and the explosion in pokemon collecting. Because of this people lost faith and don't attribute much value to any companies outside of the big three, even though it looks like SGC has been around for a lot longer. Some 10s with smaller grading companies sell for the same amount as you'd buy the card raw. For things like personal collections that's obviously different (I like using Ace grading in the UK for my personal collection because I like their label and slab design), but any card graded by another company you might want to consider cracking it open and submitting it to PSA instead, if the dollars make sense.
@acegamestv Ай бұрын
interesting, thanks a lot for that insight. Had no idea that there were brand new companies involved. Obviously I see PSA as the best resale value, but I have to say, that SGC card I got is amazing looking. I love it! I will probably try to sell it as is, and if it doesn't go I'll just keep it.

are you gonna add any changes to the pokemon? like types abilities and stuff
@acegamestv Ай бұрын
Absolutely. I did a full rebalance of every single pokemon playable in the game. For example, I added abilities called "draconic." Its like "steelworker" which was in the vanilla games. Steelworker makes steel type moves effectively STAB, so Draconic is the same with Dragon moves. I gave this as a hidden ability to Charizard for example. So if you have this ability, Charizard has stab on Flying, Fire, and Dragon moves. I also changed a ton of types. For example made Machamp Fighting Rock type. And Blastoise Water Fighting type, Yanmega Bug Dragon, etc.

On that Rhystic study you were doomed from the start, if you look at the black boarder around the card you can clearly see it's way thicker on the left side than it is on the right (You can really immediately notice it when you look at the bottom right corner of the card and then compare it to the bottom left corner) It might even be slightly rotated counter clock wise as you can see in the bottom right the black margin clearly gets thicker left-to-right and the top black margin gets thicker right-to-left
@ninjablade2 Ай бұрын
Also the reason Seadra got graded lower is again the boarders, look at your haunter and then look at Seadra; you'll see Seadra's top boarder is way thicker than the bottom boarder; it's a matter of bad setting of the card cutting Atleast it was less bad compared to the Rhystic study's rotation, so i'd imagine that's why it didn't lose more

@acegamestv Ай бұрын
I agree to a degree. It costs wayyyyy too much for what it is. It's always way too imperfect. But to be fair that seems to be something other companies are trying to fix. With a more transparent and accountable grading scale, it would be a lot more obvious if it's worth paying for or not. Now I also disagree. Collecting cards is almost oxymoronic in some ways to me. It's just cardboard and everything could be ruined in an instant if the cart is even remotely bent. PSA grading increase the stability of the card and adds real value no matter what we think about the process. It's just not enough to pay 25 dollars for it and have it taken two months.

@@acegamestv yeah I like the concept of graded cards but the randomness of actually receiving an accurate grade is a huge negative. When you consider the fact that the grade has monetary value attached to it, giving people the wrong grade is artificially creating/destroying value and I think that should be taken more seriously. Clear grading criteria/feedback could easily fix this issue, but they don’t provide that, wonder why? I just think it’s shady in general, and while I do buy slabs I wouldn’t pay a grading company’s fee for the chance to gamble on them doing their job correctly.
